Oh, little Jeannie
You got so much love, little Jeannie
And you take it where it strikes
And give it to the likes of me
Oh, little Jeannie
She got so much love, little Jeannie
So I see you when I can
You make me all a man can be
And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh, there were others who would treat you cruel
And, oh Jeannie
You were always someone's fool
Little Jeannie
You got so much time, little Jeannie
Though you've grown beyond your years
You still retain the fears of youth
Oh, little Jeannie
You got so much time, little Jeannie
But you're burning it up so fast
Searching for some lasting truth
And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh, there were others who would treat you cruel
But, oh Jeannie
I will always be your fool
And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh, there were others, and I've known quite a few
But, oh Jeannie
I'm still in love with you
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love with you
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love with you
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love with you
You stepped into my life from a bad dream (so in love)
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love (I'm so in love)
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love (I'm so in love)
You got so much love, little Jeannie
And you take it where it strikes
And give it to the likes of me
Oh, little Jeannie
She got so much love, little Jeannie
So I see you when I can
You make me all a man can be
And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh, there were others who would treat you cruel
And, oh Jeannie
You were always someone's fool
Little Jeannie
You got so much time, little Jeannie
Though you've grown beyond your years
You still retain the fears of youth
Oh, little Jeannie
You got so much time, little Jeannie
But you're burning it up so fast
Searching for some lasting truth
And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh, there were others who would treat you cruel
But, oh Jeannie
I will always be your fool
And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh, there were others, and I've known quite a few
But, oh Jeannie
I'm still in love with you
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love with you
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love with you
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love with you
You stepped into my life from a bad dream (so in love)
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love (I'm so in love)
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had, seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh, Jeannie (oh, Jeannie)
I'm so in love (I'm so in love)

This causes extreme happiness for the protagonist and makes his life suddenly shiny and new.
Just guessing at the acrobat reference. He wants her to take a chance like a circus performer doing something dangerous without a net.
The last part of the song, is almost like a prayer, he wants that she understand, what is wrong and change it, but this will never gonna happen. The whole song is claim, a wish, saddly love can't change people, they need to change by themselves.
The song also has a hint about ages, little jeannie probably is a young woman around 20 years, the guy probably is an older guy 30 or 40 years old, someone who knows that Jeannie wants to be in love, but she can't even love herself, that's why he can't be with her, he wants a change on her perspective.
And I want you to be my acrobat
(Its a claim about trusting each other, like acrobats in the circus, she can't fully trust on him, that's why they can't perfom the act of love),
I can use my imagination but let's say it doesn't mean that. K? K.
One of his best songs as far as I am concerned.
